That's not the Japanese version, that's the international release version. When Nightwatch was released in Canada and the UK, he had the black paint as opposed to the Allspark blue. I've no idea why the two versions, I'm thinking it was done on retailer request overseas. Retailers wanted a new big ticket item for the holiday season, the black version was done, then after they went into production the decision was made to incorporate Nightwatch into the Allspark line with an altered deco.

I can't speak for Canada, but the UK release was an Argos exclusive, and we don't appear to be getting the larger Allspark Power figures here.

I got my NW Prime at TRU in Ottawa, Canada. He has the Allspark blue paint.
